Decent food at a reasonable price for Banff.
Some of the best food in downtown Banff for the price class, which of course is more pricey than a non-tourist area. Tasty bison burgers, crab dip, decently fresh vegetables, good portion sizes. Had a few issues with a snarky server, but manager Brad graciously and effectively made everything right. Thanks for the good food!
We were able to get a seat here when all other places we wanted to go to were booked out. The overall presentation and ambience is nice, but we were sat beside a window in the downstairs section that was not properly sealed and it was -27 outside. The seating is comfortable and the service attentive. Wine list is ok. The food is ok. But ultimately, nothing special - just ok.
Beautiful restaurant in the mountains! The wood decor is so cozy and warm. And the food is omg! Been there twice, on my first visit we had the elk burger, it was so juicy and delicioussss! And salmon, also very good. The second time I was craving the elk burger but it wasn’t the season for it, we had steak and desserts, and of course they were great!
Here for lunch, great meal. We had a lovely Cobb and a fantastic quiche. Our Waitress from Western Australia was a real find. Will be back for dinner! Well done
Ambience was AMAZING
Service was AMAZING
Food was also AMAZING
I really loved the experience and left feeling happy with our meal..
The only reason I didn't give it a perfect score is because the price is quite high.. so I would recommend this place if you're willing to indulge, but if on a budget then you might not be willing to go here..
Amazing! They made our anniversary extra special. Great food and atmosphere! And to top it off, best service we have had in a while. I will be back.
Went for dinner as a party of 4. We had the duck, bison, bass and stuffed chicken main. All were really flavorful and delicious. For dessert we had the cheesecake, crumble and the trio of creme brulees. Enjoyed all of them. The waitress was also really helpful and we had great service.
My friend and I came here for dinner this past weekend and enjoyed the food thoroughly. We ordered the Calamari and French Onion Soup to start. The calamari was tasty and fresh however the portion was very small considering it was $15. There were only 8 pieces of calamari on the plate! The french onion soup was fantastic; flavorful and thick, not runny like some french onions soups are.
For our entrees we ordered the Surf & Turf and AAA Alberta Beef Tenderloin. Our steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked, juicy and delicious!!! My lobster tail was fresh and sweet and I dipped in butter....so good!!!! Nom nom lobster tail! For dessert we ordered the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake. It was pretty good but I think there were better options on the menu we could have ordered, like the cheesecake or hot chocolate soufflé. Would highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.
Pretty average place. The decor is beautiful but the food is nothing too special. Eggs Benedict was good, cooked nicely and the capers were a great touch.
Nice little stop on a main Street in Banff. Had the wild game burger and caesar salad, and it was delicious! I wouldn't recommend the wild game burger for those that don't necessarily like blue cheese because the taste is quite strong, but it was still very good! They also had a few local beers on tap which was a nice touch. I would come again if in the area.
Really good food. The surf and turf platter for 2 is a fantastic deal. Servers are pleasant and efficient. Tables are a bit small for the amount of food we order but probably good for most people. They have a very nice private dining room upstairs for a medium sized group, looks good for approx 8 to 12 people. Not sure of their booking rules or pricing for it though. Cocktails are solid and strong. Desserts are delicious.
My husband and I came here for our Anniversary dinner while in Banff. Service and food were incredible ! Jason was a very knowledgeable friendly server and was so quick to have our drinks filled and plates taken away. We had fresh oysters to try for our first time and they were great! We then had mussels and they were also delicious. My husband and I both had the salmon for our entree and it was the best salmon we have ever had ! Cooked perfect! We finished off with dessert which was the perfect amount of chocolate goodness ! We would love to come back next time we are in Banff celebrating a special occasion !
We liked brunch so much at the maple leaf, we went a few times. The interior has a ski lodge atmosphere. Seating indoors or patio. The food was really good at a reasonable price. The staff was fast,friendly and upbeat. I would recommend this place for a great brunch.
Amazing brunch! I got the French toast and it was to die for. The slices of bread were so thick and soft. My fiancé got the farmer’s breakfast and he loved it. Especially the rye bread with homemade jam. We left satisfied and stuffed!
The service was great too. We had planned to go to the restaurant across the street but when we found out there was a 40 minute wait we decided to try the maple leaf and we have no regrets!
We had a larger group and enjoyed the Taste for Adventure special menu at The Maple Leaf. Though the soup we had was a little under seasoned, that would be our only minor reservation of an otherwise outstanding dining experience in Banff! The portion sizes were incredibly generous, the Bison short rib entree was a huge hit (deliciously tender, seasoned to perfection and accompanied with a wealth of delicious side dishes), the risotto was rich and creamy… and even the desserts (which we barely had room for), were presented beautifully and big enough to share if you’d like. Thank you for an amazing meal!
We made reservations to have a romantic meal here during our Valentines trip to Banff. We made the reservations a month or so in advance. The Maple Leaf did not disappoint at all. The entire experience was incredible.
As soon as we arrived we were very politely welcomed and shown to our table on the second floor. They had reserved us a window table with a great view.
Once seated we met our server Jackie. She was friendly and knowledge, and really made it easy to choose our menu. She didn't rush us in anyway. Once we decided on the Surf & Turf for 2, she was incredibly helpful picking out a wine to accompany the meal. She took into account our preferences and meal choice and picked and absolute gem for us. Overall the service was perfect.
Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The atmosphere is wonderful. The entire experience really did make it the special event we were hoping it would be. Thank you to everyone at the Maple Leaf and Jackie in particular.
We ordered the mussels and Caesar salad for appetizers and 3 seafood linguini for main. Among 2 adults and 1 kid, we were glad that we had ordered the appies. But all dishes were delicious! We'd go back.
